We had a lovely stay at Beach Retreat, which has amazing views onto the sea and our dog really loved his walks along the beach. Super comfy beds too!! We will be back!
If you have a dog or two this location is perfect for nipping straight down onto the beach and dunes. We walked to Saltburn for lunch and exhausted our four-legged friends. Great spot.
Really lovely apartment, very dog friendly, tastefully decorated and perfectly located for lovely beach walks to nearby Saltburn.
Had a lovely break, will defo book again in the future, just what a needed, being so close to the beach was perfect for the dogs walks. Each room was a delight, decor was nice. If you haven't booked yet, don't wait you in for a treat.
Felt like a home from home. Spacious and light, but also cosy. Clean and comfortable retreat. Plenty of space for us to socialise but also have time to ourselves if needed. All amenities as described. Lovely decor. Shower was lovely, and plenty of cooking utensils and appliances in the kitchen. Loved the courtyard at the back and also sitting in the outdoor area at the front of property watching the sea. Perfect location to the beach and to the shops, cafes, restaurants with our elderly dog. 5 minute drive to Redcar or Saltburn, 20 mins to Runswick Bay, and 40 mins to Whitby. Brilliant. Only downside was tv in dining area didn’t work, and the tv in twin bedroom was too far away from plug sockets. However we still had 2 tvs to choose from and to be honest, preferred to watch the seaview anyway! Will definitely be returning!!
Beautiful location right on the beach. Perfect for my senior dog that can't walk far these days. Local shops also in walking distance. The fresh sunflowers were a lovely touch. The flat is lovely and spacious and is as pictured. Very peaceful place to stay.
Had a great stay. Right on the beach. Perfect for a wkend getaway with the dog.
Nice place, easy to find, free parking right outside. Great location and views of the sea, right on the beach, which would've been perfect, but for the terrible luck we had with the weather (post heatwave!). Garden was an added bonus and very sheltered, and very handy for our dogs. Place was spacious and tastefully decorated, but would benefit from some blackout blinds/curtains in the bedrooms; we were awake from 3/4am, and even left a day early due to lack of sleep during the first 2 nights owing to light, TV spontaneously turning on from 1am, and the front door rattling from the howling wind on night 2. We enjoyed our stay, but nature's influence hampered it a little, unfortunately.
Amazingly spacious apartment. All rooms exceptionally big. Great facilities and a out of this world view. Never got tired of the view. Fantastic location for walking the dog. Position wise just a short walk into the town centre with it's 2 supermarket convenience stores plus other local shops. We really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return one day
Would definitely stay again in this apartment but not in winter Positive: Fabulous location near to the beach - ideal for walking and dog fry Negative: Living room was cold unlike the rest of the apartment - heating was good but struggled to maintain the heat in this room . Check in and out times were restrictive for over a weekend - we were offered an earlier check in time but this would have incurred a £30 charge which is excessive
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Beach Retreat. Immaculately clean and lovely decor throughout. It was also a perfect location for a morning and evening stroll on the beach with the dogs. Would definitely stay here again!
Perfect location for a seaside get away. Plenty of dog friendly pubs and restaurants with in 20 min drive.
The most gorgeous place to stay. Perfect for long beach walks and family time
Amazing seaside location, spacious 2 bed apartment in a gorgeous little village. Perfect for any family vacation. Positive: We loved the location, decor and spacious rooms. We had a really comfortable stay. Negative: Lack of ironing board and tea towels. I also requested several times if there could be a Christmas tree put up seeing as though our stay was over Christmas and I had no reply and was disappointed to see there wasn’t one put up. I found this ordeal very frustrating.
Short relaxing family break in excellent accomodation Positive: The location is excellent - fantastic sea view from the bedroom and lounge windows . Great for pets and loved sitting in front garden overlooking the sea having coffee. On quiet private road.
Positive: Die Lage war einfach toll und der Ausblick direkt auf den Strand ein Traum. Wir würden es aber auf jeden Fall wieder buchen - Entspannung pur. Negative: Die Küche war für unsere Bedürfnisse leider nicht gut genug ausgestattet, da wir gerne selbst kochen.
Fabulous flat with views on to the beach, very spacious. The only thing that let it down was the kitchen equipment. Very old and scratched pans and unfortunately the basics weren't there - like a sieve, wooden spoon etc. It would improve the experience no end if a bit of money was spent on some good quality items. We like to cook a lot and really struggled in this kitchen.
I am disappointed that Dale would not allow me to change my booking dates. My other guest could not make the weekend away due to poor health. I had no way of getting a refund or swopping the dates. This was an expensive weekend for 1 person , and was not fully enjoyed , as the whole intention was to celebrate the ill person s 50th birthday.
Loved it, a perfect birthday weekend! Positive: The position, the tasteful decor, the spaciousness, the nooks and crannies. Negative: Not being able to check in until 4pm. But that’s it!
Positive: Very clean as always. Wonderful setting. Very spacious Negative: The parking a little tricky. Because the let above was being used we had allocated parking spots with room for one car to get through between. However because the other car was a large 4x4 and they parked not as close as they could have to allow the passenger to exit. If we had parked in our allotted spot there wouldn't have been room for other traffic to pass. Fortunately the house next door was for sale and empty so we parked there but as a disabled person had this not been the case it could have been a real issue.
A great bolt-hole for a family or couple. Perfect spot to be in, beach on the doorstep-lots of local amenities, easy to walk to.
Amazing location, comfortable property. Positive: The apartment is well equipped and a superb location next to the beach. The town is lovely and within walking distance of Saltburn. The apartment is comfortable and spacious and has amazing views. Negative: The property needs a little bit of TLC. There’s a hole in the toilet wall where the toilet roll holder used to be, the bath side is blown, some of the lights and blinds don’t work and the rug in the living room is stained.
The best place to stay. Positive: Fantastic apartment, well equipped, clean, comfy and brilliant location. Negative: Nothing, everything was perfect.
Great flat, beautiful view of the sea, great location. Will be booking again.
Fall asleep with the sound of the sea what more can u ask for. Beautiful apartment, warm and cosy with an amazing beach steps away.
Very comfortable and enjoyable would definitely visit again. Positive: Beautiful views in the morning as both the bedroom and living room overlook the beach.
Would definitely stay again 🙂 Positive: The location was fabulous, views stunning & apartment was spacious clean & well equipped Negative: Parking was awkward as very tight Gate to rear requires adjustment as bolts misaligned but managed to stop it slamming in the wind Toilet roll holder required
A wonderful break, ticks all the boxes 👌🏻 Positive: Perfect location near to the beach & sea. Roomy and deceptively spacious. Very well equipped. Use of a small back courtyard garden and a wonderful shared front area to sit and enjoy. Shops only a 10 minute walk. Great communication & fast responses to queries. Negative: Bathroom becoming a little tired, will need some TLC in the future.
We loved staying here and would definitely book this apartment again . The photos don’t really do justice - it is a lovely spacious home with the best sea views . I stayed with my family including my daughter in law who has MS. It was easily accessible for her and the double room had plenty of space for a travel cot for my granddaughter. The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed. We will be coming back .
Lovely property with great views.
Incredible stay in this beautiful apartment. The sea views from the master bedroom and living room were just perfection. There is also a beautiful little garden out the front where you can sit peacefully and relax! The kids absolutely loved it and being 1 minute to the beach was just ideal for us. There were also plenty of restaurants, takeaways and shops all less than a 10 minute walk away! We will definitely be back!
Lovely apartment with amazing beach view Positive: Lovely apartment with an amazing view from the living room and main bedroom window. You are right on the beach. The apartment comes with a reserved parking space.
Beautiful property in an amazing location. The only slight downside was some of the cutlery and mugs needed to be washed again. The main bedroom smelt a bit and had some dog/human hair around on the window sills and floor. Other than that everything was amazing! We would definitely stay again if the small issues could be sorted 😊
Great base for a weekend stay, full of character and really clean. The beds were really comfortable, everything you needed was provided. The view absolutely made it, along with the almost direct beach access and the terrace to make the most of it. Would definitely stay again.
Great ground floor apartment with beautiful location. But holes in wall where toilet roll was and loose towel rail, broken blind in living room, bedroom curtain far too thin and the black and white bedroom mat curled up at corners (trip hazard). Didn't want to use the dishwasher for 3 or 4 items so hand washed in the bowl but no washing up liquid supplied so soaked the tabs. In the outdoor area 3 or 4 dead bushes, just looks neglected, also every time upstairs emptied water it leaked out the down pipe at the side of the back door, tried to step over the wet area when using the door. Decor in living room a bit sad, black metal coffee table and plastic plants. Printed info would have been helpful as I do not have a iphone, so digital links are no good for me. Could be so much nicer but feels neglected. I would book again and it would be nice to see improvements and repairs are done.
Amazing location and lovely house Positive: Amazing location close to the beach and walking to the town centre, house is lovely and spacious ideal for a long weekend or a week away ! We would definitely stay again ❤️ Negative: Bedroom could do with better blinds
Thank goodness for the view, awful place Positive: The view and location Negative: Every thing else, there was poo on the toilet, toilet broken, bath broken, holes in the wall from toilet roll holder falling off this wasn’t replaced, not cleaned properly, bedroom- stained carpet, cheap furniture, kitchen- please see my pictures, disgusting oven and grill pan and I mean disgusting! Mould stained worktops, the drawers were so untidy but relatively clean, but the smell goodness me was awful, glad I had an air freshener in my car! Lounge was probably the best room, but the tables and floor had cup ring marks from not being cleaned. The garden needs attention, weeds broken pots the list goes on and on! Do not book this place, I’ve had a complaint in place for 4 weeks, appalling communication and service no ownership, I have never dealt with a company this bad, I finally get a 15% reduction off a next booking! Haha absolutely not this complaint is not closed. If you have booked please cancel and do not let it ruin your stay like it did for my birthday! AVOID AVOID AVOID
A perfect retreat, on the door step of the beach and coastal walks. Very spacious and has all the amenities you need for a short stay away. We travelled with two dogs and the local area was perfect for them, most of the places to eat and drink are dog friendly and the locals are very welcoming. The beach was peaceful and long stretches to exercise the dogs, lots of dogs off the leads, all playing nicely. Nearby places like Saltburn and Redcar a few miles either side. Would definitely return and stay here again.
Our happy place (especially for the dogs)! Positive: Love the setting, one of our party is disabled so ground floor and 2 mins to the beach is perfect. There's plenty of space and the property is always very clean and neat and we leave it the same. Negative: The parking is very tight especially if the other side of the road parks too wide. Tricky getting in and out of the vehicle for someone disabled. Fortunately the house next door is empty so we parked there. We used the oven this time but no oven gloves so a pair would be helpful. Other than that our favourite place. Minor things which didn't detract
A really spacious apartment with a beautiful view. We were more than happy and intend to return.
Positive: A beautiful apartment and location. Great outdoor space too. Ideal for dog walks on tge beach.
great location, roomy inside. Beware second bedroom is west facing and gets the evening sun, curtain when we stayed was ~voile style so let's a lot of light in, you may want to take something to cover the window if you have young kids!
We had a lovely stay at Beach Retreat and our dog, Nell was overjoyed with the gorgeous beach. The view from the apartment was stunning and the bed was so comfortable. It was a very relaxing stay and we would happily return.
Fabulous location, beautiful clean smart & spacious apartment over looking the beach. Cosy beds, very clean and lovely outdoor space too. Lovely coastal 30 mins walk to Saltburn, host responsive, warm & cosy place, would love to return when next in the area.
We had the best weekend here! The property was in a gorgeous location, really easy to find and had very easy instructions on how to access it. Really easy 10 minute walk into the town for a drink, bite to eat or shop. Of course you are straight onto the beach as well! It was really clean, had everything we needed and was really spacious. We were able to cook in the kitchen with all the pots, pans and utensils provided. The pictures almost don’t do it justice as it was bigger than expected. It was so easy to settle into and so comfortable and the view from the windows was amazing. We had a 15 week old baby with us and there was so much room for her bed and play mat and other belongings. We only wish we could have stayed longer! I image we will be booking again! Thank you so much!
Extremely good value and a great location. It was a lot bigger inside than expected too!
Beautiful apartment right on the beach. Found everything we needed for a one week stay. Comfy beds and lots of space for a family of 4. Lovely walks to nearby villages. Lots of options for eating out and things to do. Very peaceful area.
Clean, spacious accommodation in an amazing location - just great if you want to spend time on the beach. Marske is a pretty town with all you need within walking distance and there are lots of other places to visit within a short drive. Dog friendly and would definitely stay again.
Two very different sides. Beautiful rooms, views, very clean, bed linen and towels lovely. BUT, badly equipped kitchen. 2 saucepans, one was rusty inside and a health hazard. No oven glove, had to use a bath towel. Asked Hist for an oven glove, but nothing arrived, consequently burnt finger. Only 3 dinner plates, too large to stack in dishwasher. Only 3 wine glasses. No baking tray, just one small tin meat dish. Fed this back to Host & Stay who were very apologetic. Despite these issues, it is a lovely dwelling and hosts say they will address the issues ready for next guests. So all is well.
Almost perfect Positive: Great location overlooking the sea, lovely big bay windows. Almost everything you could need. Warm, and comfortable. Enclosed back yard good for the dog. We had a good time! Negative: Little bit mean with the towels...1 handtowel between 3 of us and a tiny bodywash. Maybe forget the token gesture. Also curled edge on the rug in the main bedroom, definitely a trip hazard! We asked for an early check-in twice to be told the cleaner wouldn't have finished. We parked up outside at 2.30. No cleaner and an empty property but we didn't go in. Finally get the key code right! The one in the email from Booking.com was incorrect.
We were impressed with how clean and presentable it was. There was a lovely view of the sea from a couple of the windows. The apartment was well presented and the furniture was comfortable and suited the decor and style.
we did not receive instructions on how to access the property and had to call on arrival to find out how to get in. On our 3rd night the Carbon Monoxide detector went into alarm so we called the emergency gas services to come to the property as we didn't know what else to do. They came out and advised that the carbon Monoxide detector was manufactured in 2015 and so should of been replaced after 7 years (2022). They shut off the gas supply at approx 01:00. The gas was reinstated following a plumber attending the premises at approx 16:40 the following day so around 18 hours without hot water or heating. fortunately the carbon monoxide detector had been replaced also. All in its a lovely property and a lovely location. We were somewhat frustrated with details above and barring a short conversation from the owner no further follow up or communication was made from either Host and Stay or the owner.
Marske Positive: The location the apartment Negative: The noisy neighbours upstairs..the fact that our flat wasn't numbered to get in..
A great bolthole right on the beach. We had a wonderful stay and would certainly recommend and return in the future.
We really enjoyed our stay. The location very close to the beach was a real bonus. Enjoyed a good meal at Gilbeys and caught the train for the short trip to Saltburn, which is a lovely small resort with a superb beach. Happy to recommend a stay here, especially if wish to have a peaceful and relaxing break.
Great location Positive: Great location, very spacious Negative: Hot water on shower fluctuates from hot to cold, so unusable, had to have a bath. Windows very dirty, spoilt the view. Uncomfortable pillows
What a lovely place to stay, the accommodation was fabulous, with plenty of room and packed full of amenities. The decor was lovely and I couldn’t believe there were 3 televisions! The location is great if you like the beach and walking and the local shops etc are well within walking distance. The hosting staff were really helpful as we left a valuable item behind and they held it safe and available for when we’re able to return to collect it. Great work team! One small point the hot water through the taps and showers isn’t hot and is like warm at best. The central heating, however, is toasty warm. I would wholeheartedly recommend this for a relaxing break.
The place was absolutely lovely however we were extremely let down by Host & Stay as they proceeded to ignore our messages all weekend when we told them that we had no hot water at the property to shower or bath. They waited to respond until we had checked out which was very frustrating. Very disappointed with the lack of service and will not be booking through them again. We would not recommend booking with host & stay and would go direct to the property instead. Felt they didn’t care whatsoever and their lack of effort/communication showed this.
This was our second stay and we are looking to book again soon
What a gem Positive: As visiting locals we love the location and was very comfortable Negative: Nothing
Wonderful stay by the coast, the flat was lovely. The only downside was the shower was cold. So close to the beach easy to access and lots of amenities close by would definitely be staying here again.
Great host, replied quickly to questions I had before the trip. Beautiful apartment with views over the sea.
The accommodation was exactly what we needed in terms of location and living space. Hosts were responsive to questions and proactive about providing information. Would stay there again.
An absolutely beautiful flat in an incredible location.
Great space to relax in , fabulous view from windows. Love the area. Will be booking again
We had the most fantastic stay at Beach retreat. Lots of room. Most fantastic views. And very comfortable. There were previous reviews that suggested it was dirty but I can 💯 say it really wasn’t, maybe a past resolved problem. We will definitely return even want to buy property there. A must stay for anyone looking 👀
Lovely stay. Beautiful home & location. Absolutely loved it. Thank you
Absolutely beautiful location and the house is spacious and modern. The beds were so comfy too. So lovely being so close to the sea. The hosts are super helpful and responsive. Loved our stay!
We loved our stay. The flat is a lot more spacious than we expected. The location was 5 star. Stunning views. We will be back! Would highly recommend
Beautiful location, tastefully decorated. Sadly the lack of a thorough clean and boiler noise somewhat spoilt our stay.
A lovely property in such a great location right on the beach! Marske is the best! Deffo check out Craig's, Gilby's and Rose & Potter!!
The apartment was just as described – incredibly spacious, in an excellent location, very quiet, and beautifully decorated. I absolutely loved my stay here! My only critique would be that a bit more attention could have been given to the cleaning
Seaside haven of peace and tranquility. Right on the edge of the beach. Panoramic views. Well equipped and very comfortable and stylish accommodation. We really loved our stay here and will definitely return.
Perfect stay at Marske-by-the-sea. The flat is very close to the beach and Marske is walkable to both Saltburn and Redcar. The flat faces South-East and you can see the sunrise from the living room window. The flat itself is very big with enough room for 4 people to stay comfortably. It's also within walking distance to the local village and pubs and markets. The car stayed at then designated parking space for the duration of our stay. Bonus 👍🏼.
Komme jederzeit wieder Positive: Unglaubliche Lage am Meer, phantastische Aussicht Negative: Kochtöpfe sollten erneuert werden, Beschichtung ist völlig zerkratzt
We have stayed in Marske a few times before further along the same road, so we already knew where this property was. This property was a lovely place to stay with fantastic views out to sea and easy access down to the beach. The place was well maintained.
Very Disappointed Positive: The view is exceptional except the windows in the apartment were filthy. Very good location next to beach .very quiet area Negative: First thing we had to do on arrival is to clean the cooker and splashback which was very greasy and smelled. The sealant around the kitchen sink had black mould on it which is very unhealthy, Half of the crockery was chipped. Apartment relatively clean but needed attention to detail. The living room furniture shows sign of wear and was uncomfortable and in need of a clean.The Blinds in the bedroom which faces the rising sun, are white and thin and not much use , there is a curtain which divides the room but it doesn't stop the early morning light. The toilet seat was loose and why do they have a bath that is more like a horse trough and very difficult to climb in or out of. This was our second visit to this apartment. Loved it first time. Wouldn't go again as I do not believe the apartment is up to the standard for the price
second visit to this gem of a place and once again it was everything that we wanted and more... location is second to none and love eateries are well within walking distance. This place is a delight from the stylish minimal furnishings to the 2 sun spots outdoor areas to catch the odd ray of sunshine with a cocktail. we will return
Beautiful property in a stunning location and well turned out by the owner. Unfortunately, Host And Stay let this Owner Positive: Beautiful property, stunning location Negative: Poor housekeeping? dirty areas not cleaned and maintenance failed to rectify most other issues, despite numerous phone calls! Because of the respect we had for the Owner , we cleaned the place from top to bottom and left it in a much better condition than we found it !
Beautiful. Would love to stay again when visiting family Positive: Fantastic location with views of the beach. All rooms are very spacious and comfortable Negative: Very small things - iron but no ironing board. Plug from one of the bedside lights didn’t reach the wall socket. Also a small fresh milk would have been nice instead of small uht cartons
Absolutely fantastic location for the beach and exploring the surrounding towns/beaches.
Thank you, we will stay again.
Absolutely gem of a place to stay, will definitely come back - highly recommended
A great apartment in a beautiful location, just perfect Positive: Everything Negative: Nothing
The location was fabulous right on the beach with access to lovely walks. The apartment was amazing very spacious and comfortable. The biggest downside is the noises from the occupants upstairs which went on to the early hours. Combined with the whirring of the central heating resulted in a disturbed night.
Could be fantastic but as is - average accommodations redeemed by location Positive: The location the layout and the styling Negative: The quality of the accommodations for the price, leaking grey water from accommodations above, torn linens, rotted bath panels, dirty windows, exposed valve on rad cut leg, the noise from flats above.
Good communication. Nice apartment in good location
Positive: Everything it was perfect
Great stay here! We’ve stayed a few times before and it never disappoints! Thank you!
Lovely apartment, will be back, just perfect
Wonderful location! Positive: Amazing location, comfortable and good facilities. Negative: Parking space is very tight.
We loved our stay in Marske. The location of the apartment is peaceful with lovely views to the sea. The apartment has been decorated recently and is a calm and cosy place to be.
Had such a lovely stay, everything was as described. Apartment was larger than we expected which had an amazing sea view. We are hoping to return early next year.
The flat is great and the view is amazing. Would definitely come again. The style of the flat is lovely as is the space. The kitchen utensils, pans and crockery need updating, replacing. It’s a shame the windows were mucky as it stopped you from enjoying the view from inside, I appreciate that the weather and being so near the sea will mean the windows get mucky quicker but when you’re paying more for the fabulous view it would be good if the 2 front windows were cleaned more regularly. Overall great though and we felt right at home.
Geschmackvoll eingerichtete große Erdgeschosswohnung mit Meerblick. Mobiliar schon telweise etwas abgenutzt, verleiht der Wohnung aber Charme.
Stunning!! I could not take enough photos! Gorgeous and spacious property, literally 1 min to the beach and simply the most amazing views! Saltburn is really walkable and some really nice restaurants, cafes also within a 10 min walk. This was one of the best and most relaxing breaks I have had.. If you want to switch off and relax - go here 😁
A spacious, nicely styled apartment with wonderful views of the sea. Peaceful location, with direct access to the beach. The beds were comfortable, with clean linen. The shower was excellent. The kitchen was only adequately equipped, but we made the best of it. The cooker was working, but very slow. A good new fridge/freezer. There were some issues with cleanliness - in the kitchen only. We reported these whilst there. It was disappointing. Kitchen knives definitively need replacing as very blunt and much of the crockery chipped. The apartment had a feel that it needed refreshing and a few more soft touches, throws for example. It would cost very little to bring it up to date and then my review would have been very different. The smart tv was not connected to the Wi-Fi, so unable to use streaming. We couldn’t activate the heating. There was plenty of hot water. It was only chilly in the evenings. The decoration was good, but we strongly disliked all the artificial plants!
The house was in a great location and was very clean. I didn't realise when I booked that this was a property management company, you can tell. Firstly, they insist on a liability waiver for damages even though Airbnb provide that already and wouldn't give us check in details without it. Secondly, the house, though clean and excellent location was lacking any kind of personality or comforts that you would usually expect from an Airbnb. Thirdly, we couldn't find the iron and when we asked the host they replied "it's listed as an amenity" and would give no further response despite messaging us constantly about reporting damage. On closer inspection everything is wearing out, there are marks on the walls and carpets, lights that don't work, linoleum pulling up in cupboards and a dodgy key box. Lastly, the instructions they leave are SPARSE, there is no mention of a shared garden, where to find amenities or most of the usual info you'd expect to find.
